Sleeping Boys

Jared was taking care of Caleb and was feeding him. He kept dozing off while he was feeding him and the bottle would drop. I kept telling him I would do it but he reassured me he was fine and not tired at all. This was the end product! Love it!!

Playing with Daddy

Brooke is insanely jealous when Jared picks up Caleb. She freaks out and gets all in his face. It is really funny to watch because she wants him to pay attention to her.







She tries to push Caleb off and she will even point at the floor and say "cacub" meaning she wants him to put Caleb down. I think she has just gotten used to it with me but she still has her moments. They both get plenty of time to play with their dad!

My Birthday!

I turned 25 on the 9th. It is so weird. I used to always be the youngest, now I'm not. Although, I still think of myself as being 18 still. No longer in my early twenties!!! I feel pretty happy with life so that's a good thing. I am blessed with a wonderful husband and two beautiful kids. We went to New Braunfels and floated the river with Nick and Hillary. It was so much Fun!! Thanks for hangin with us! And a huge thank you to my awesome Brother and sister in law who watched my kids for the whole day. I really love them. Jared made me a cookie cake on Sunday. He may not have the decorating skills but it was cute. Plus he couldnt find any candels so this is Jareds make shift version.

It took him a little bit to light. Brooke was so cute, she kept telling me " happy day mommy" and she sang happy Birthday. She really is growing up!!The only bad thing was both my kids were up all night so I was totally exhausted. Gotta love being a mom. Birthdays are just not the same anymore. All and all it was a fun weekend.

Cake decorating

I decorated some cupcakes for one of my friends and Brooke got to join in on the fun. It was hilarious and kept her occupied while I did my thing. When I was done and got things cleaned up I put them all on the table watching her like a hawk. A few times she brought me a cupcake and said"cu cu mom",Hoping they were all not destroyed. They made it to their destination, although I did have to remake one.

The Finished Product

Vaction with The Livesay's

At the park

Sport'in the mommy look!!

This past week we went with Jared's family out to Lake LBJ near Austin. We stayed in a home right on the lake. It was pretty nice. While all the boys went fishing a few of us took the kids to the park a little ways down. There were Deer all over the place. Leave to Brooke to find some of the deer poop. Mommy having another freak out moment. I swear she thinks it is so funny when she makes me mad.

Brooke loved the Boat and everywhere we were she wanted her life vest on and was ready to take a ride. We tried to take her on the tube but she freaked. Not ready for that much fun. It was fun to spend time with family. Mel Rocking the tube!! They tried hard to flip her but she stayed strong!! You rock Mel!!
The Love birds

We did finally get some girl time though. All of the girls (minus Mel, we missed you!!) went on a zip line tour. It was really fun and I definitely needed some girl time. We zip lined from big cypress trees one they think is around 500 years old! I also learned some survival plants, just in case! It was a blast.

The cousins!!

Houston to Dallas

I was so excited to get to go up to Dallas to visit my parents. That really should happen more often. I always love to visit and my mom always helps me out with the kiddos, not to mention my little Brookie loves her Grandpa. It really is so funny she likes to follow him around. It was really relaxing.I got to see a Harry Potter in the Theater!! It was a good one.

We went to the pool and the park almost every day. Uncle Zac was a blast to hang out with at the Pool. I really love that baby pool. It was deep enough but not too deep for her to stand. We ate lunch almost everyday like a picnic by the pool.

There were baby birds in one of my moms trees that we had to look at every time we went by. Baby birds are really ugly!!I wish we lived closer, I hate to leave but we did miss our Daddy.

Independance day

I know this is late but, I have been gone so I am trying to catch up. We were lucky enough to get to visit our cousins in Louisiana for July 4th. Jared was working so we went and stayed over there for a few days. Brooke's Aunt Sherri is awesome and threw here a mini party because they wouldn't be able to come for her actual Birthday. Brooke totally loves Carson and Emma Claire and it is getting nicer because she is actually starting to play with them. Turning into such a little girl and not a baby! I Knew before I went I would need Sherri's support to get rid of Brooke's pacifier's. She loves those dang things and would sleep with like 6 of them. It really wasn't to bad but thankfully Sherri was there. I might have caved!! Thanks!!! We gave them to the dogs in Lousiana so she cannot retriev them and neither can mom. I really think it was harder on me. She still tries to steal Caleb's and hide to get in a few sucks. Brooke tires to give Caleb his pacifier's now and will get so frustrated because she really can't understand why he doesn't want it!! Because she does! Caleb is not really a pacifier baby so we probably won't have to go through this with him.








She really is wanting to do everything herself and she did not want me to help her with this sparkler! AHHHH!!!!



We were having a Mommy Freak out moment!! Don't burn anything!!! Sparklers are very nerve wrecking!! I was freaking out the entire time!
